Badly Drawn on Sloppily Drawn? It's kinda funny how older artists dance around modesty in comparison to today. "Are you a great artist...?" "Who? Me? Oh, no not me? I'm 'BADLY DRAWN'" Now we listen to people who call themselves "Perfume Genius." Anyhow, Nic Harcourt used to spend tons of KCRW airtime on this album. At the time I wasn't too excited about it, after all he introduced me to the Gotan Project and Cornershop, two total shit albums that diminished my trust in his music pics. Happily enough, listening to it now with fresh ears is relatively pleasant. I enjoyed the first song, The Shining. I enjoyed the second track, Everybody's Talking and ready to give this a respectable review... But then, as we proceed down an excessively long track listing we hit some bumps, some errors and by the time we get to track 14, Pissing in the Wind we fall apart. The rest of the album is in freefall. Editing is a valuable skill, Mr. Sloppy Pants. Track 16, Disillusion, sounds like a Barry Manilow song performed on Loveboat. Sorry, but you can't be respectable if you're trying to imitate Barry Manilow. Top few tracks are strong, but have to deduct some serious points for not knowing when to stop.
